Personally growing more angry at the response by politicians and the like to this.clueless best describes what I am seeing and hearing. Have always been of the opinion that one should not rely on the "security forces" for ones safety...further reinforced by recent events.Andy burnham and co = predictably despicable crass barstewards

"The roof closure had been suggested because of fears of a drone attack on what is described as the biggest club football game in the world".

Already the authorities have said there are going to be increased searching of fans at games (time consuming and costly). Searches could lead to a back jam of fans outside grounds, an easy target for terrorists, don't know the answer, don't think there is one, we will just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope the security services can stop the terrorists before they set out.

Makes you wonder when the politicians will come up with a solution. Appeasement worked with the IRA. It is unlikely the public will put up with this for much longer. Even when the terrorists are shot dead they only become martyrs in the eyes of the next lot.

There have been a couple of murders in NI in the past week related to Ulster terrorism, three none terrorist shootings in Liverpool in th past few days, probably gang related and yesterday there was a person shot dead and a number of people injured including two policemen in a London shooting and stabbing incident, also probably gang related.
I watched a programme last week about gangs, young people, boys and girls with guns in Nottingham.
There is a serious problem in this country, and its not just with Islamic extremists when it comes to the lack of respect for human life.
I've always felt reasonably safe where I live, but in the past few months there have been a number of fatal knife attacks up here, no one seems to give damn for one another these days.

The worrying fact up here, it's not wannabe gangsters stabbing folk, its middle aged numpties. When I was young I knew where to go or not go, now I walk through any council scheme without fear, there are no gangs on the streets, very few youngsters hanging around street corners, but there are people my age ready to use a knife, ffs, something ain't right.

One of the most pressing issues is what happens to police officers that open fire in good faith and injure or kill innocent parties. Yes they should be investigated to make sure they had ligitimate reasons to open fire, but if they do get it wrong but in good faith they need the backing of us all.

They will more thanlikely be hung out to dry by the do Gooders .. The police did a fantastic job in killing those three cowardly terrorists within eight minutes ..Pity they didn't suffer like their victims did.. Bastids

You're not very Christian like wanting people to suffer, do you wish Shari Law and to stone the @#$%& to death?

My throwing arms phooked but I would use a catapult to stone them with..lol

Heard there was a march in Manchester today, "unite against hate", headed by Tommy Robinson. Hardly a mention on the news, perhaps the media are still pretending we are a united nation. Strange some of the demonstrators were shouting, "Allah is a paedo", that sounds a bit hateful imo.

I have an intense dislike for b@st@rd wovers.

Oh,I also have an intense dislike for a certain religion.
You know the one..the last and final one.

I have a dislike for all religions.
Had a word with a couple of mormons the other week, well one wanted to have a word with me, his mate came to help him and a third loitered in the background.
I asked them what would happen to me, if I chapped doors looking for gullible, vulnerable and lonely people to sign up to the church of JJ so I could get my hands on their cash in an exchange for when they finally departed from their life of drudgery on earth they could have a ball up in fantasy land. When I finally finished the place lit up, with their toothy smiles as they wished me a good day and walked away backwards.
People have a right to have their own religious beliefs, just don't preach them to me.

Take to your local council after surveying opinions...in this climate of non free speech and "your a racist" ordnance flying everywhere would be just a tad unwise. How would one know that views expressed here do not find a wider audience or posters limit their online posting to only this forum. Just a little presumptious and totaly innacurate in my own case.Reading many thousands of comments on both the Guardian and Express newspapers online covering a great many subjects makes your easily offended skin a little thicker.......as in rhino.

As a newcomer i do see this forum has racist undertones .[/quote

Just because some people don't like a certain Religion,does that make them rascist Ricky?

Another nutter and this one just happens to be white. Beget is the opperative word. There will be a breaking point of wild fires occuring and we the ordinary souls will pay the price of our politicians mistakes over the last 40 plus years. A curse on them all.What a bl***y mess and no one in charge with the slightest clue of the enormity that could potentially unfold............FC is safe and still among us I believe, but where is BC ? does anyone know him personally and able to clarify what has happened to him ?

There are a lot of people with mental health issues wandering around the U.K.who have been failed by the state.
Maybe I'm just going through the mid life crisis, but in the past year there has been about ten people I know who have split from their partners, at a BBQ at the weekend and a couple of people I spoke to knew 2 people who had taken their own life in the the past year. We are talking people in their 40s/50s, people who had been married for 20/30 years, people with families, there seems to be a lot of unhappiness about. I'm worried about a couple of lads who have split from their missus incase they top themselves. I moan because half the time I go to the pubs and there's nobody in them, there is no community anymore.
On a Saturday night pubs are quiet, walk into the kebab shop, I get served straight away, walk outside get a taxi no bother, the streets are dead, local pubs, grub shops, taxi firms are all struggling for business. We have two main shopping centres, one is half empty, The Forum Centre (kinda indoor market) dead, Reform Street (opposite City Square) 9 empty shops, the town is depressing. People don't have spare cash, austerity, austerity, austerity, well Mrs May, enough is enough, people are getting angry, anger can often turn into violence.
Our politicians, still don't have a clue, Scottish independence, Brexit, Donald Trump, all stem from people disillusioned with the status quo, unfortunately, independence, Brexit and Donald Trump ain't the answer. Scotland blames England, Britain blames EU, America blames the world, Muslims blame the West, Brits blame foreigners, everyone is looking to blame someone, let's cut to the chase, it's all our faults for letting morons rules us.
Time to tackle poverty, austerity, the bankers, the capital system, WE ALL have to work together for a better world FOR ALL.

An attempted ramming at a Paris mosque today, god knows where we are heading if there is an escalation of @#$%& for tat incidents. Don't know what the authorities can do, speed up automation of vehicles where big brother chauffeurs us about? God, a man made creation, just like money, another man made creation causing more evil than good.

As I said earlier, I fear for the Tour de France, I've been predicting for a number of years now a ramming of the cyclists as it cannot be policed properly due to the nature of the course.
I think the problem we are facing now, anyone with a grievance about whatever may take their anger out in a ramming attack.
Yesterday in Glasgow a man was hit by a car then stabbed in what was probably a gang related incident, it seems to be a popular method of violence these days.

2 Rambo cops in Dundee city square this morning. I see the British stiff upper lip is all a quiver now, the 'we won't let terrorists affect our lives' bullshit is now, 'oh we are all vulnerable to attacks'.
